Hopeful Icebergs

details


Humans by nature are hopeful, sometimes a little too hopeful. Jack was hopeful when he stepped foot on the Titanic. He was hopeful when he met Rose. He hopefully hoped that his hopes of being able to live happily ever after with a woman he met and drew naked would come true. Unfortunately, the boat hit a chunk of ice. It was a really big chunk of ice. Nonetheless, Jack was still hopeful that things would be okay. Then the boat started to sink. He still hoped to make it to a lifeboat and escape with his one true love who he just met and barely knew, other than the fact that she was rich and had a huge-ass diamond. Even after he was handcuffed to a pipe by that guy who played the bad guy in The Mummy, he was hopeful. His hopes paid off when he managed to reunite with Rose, and as they bobbed aimlessly on a piece of wreckage in the frigid water, he hoped that a lifeboat would come and save them and they could live happily ever after. Then he died. Moral of the story: if you're in a situation where you're pretty much fucked, you're pretty much fucked. Being hopeful wont help, but people do it anyway. So don't. Seriously. It's just annoying for the rest of us to watch.

Always watch out for the icebergs.
